Microsoft to sell black & purple Xbox 360 chrome controllers in March

4.5
Microsoft has announced two new chrome controllers for Xbox 360, coming in black and purple flavours.

Microsoft’s Larry ‘Major Nelson’ Hryb revealed the pads over on his blog last night.

Hryb confirmed that the controllers feature a “transforming d-pad” and will launch in March at $54.99. They’ll be available exclusively at US Best Buy stores and the Microsoft store. There’s currently no word on a wider European release.

I would see this as a good investment for them. I mean there's already so many companies that do custom controllers like this one and they are more options for when you buy those controllers from those other companies.

Wow they are really nice i might get the purpul one.

The purple one looks gorgeous, nicer than the black one and even the blue. I wonder if these come wired or if the blue will ever be released. Colors galore will work with me too. Only part that sucks is a controller that costs almost as much as a game does for a now last-gen console.

I have to say, these look pretty awesome!

Gossip I don't know why they are still making all these products for the 360.


Probably because they are milking as much money as they can out of 360 users before they move to only supporting the One.

We need some of these for the One. I can't wait for custom controllers to finally get released for it.

Folk why wouldn't they bring out xbox one controllers. No need for 360 controllers anymore.


There are still more 360 users, that's why. Such an ignorant comment.


That comment is not ignorant at all. There are many 3rd party companies that released controllers like that for the 360 over the years. Microsoft needs to now focus on releasing new stuff for the xbox one. There isn't as much 3rd party support because its new.


Seeing as you do not understand marketing, nor finance, you have no credibility here. It is always better business to produce for those who are making more money for your company, than to only go for the new products. Once more consumers purchase Xbox ONEs, Microsoft will produce more hardware for it. Until then, it makes no sense. Your comment and his comment are ignorant.


I understand alot more than you. The money is where the new system is at. If people could fork out 500 for a system. Then they most likely have the spending money to get extra things.

you clearly do not he is correct you supply for the group that is most popular and gets you the most money first and so on. not because its "new"


Thank you; it is so nice to see that at least one other person on TTG understands basic marketing and economics.
